Natalie von der Lehr

Most of the time I speak, think and write in Swedish. But it does happen that I write or give lectures in English.

About me

I am a scientific journalist with a background as an active researcher. 2009 I put down my pipette to exchange it for a pen - I had been curious about scientific journalism for quite a while and since I had come to a crossroad where to decide what step to take next in my career I decided to give writing a serious try.

I enjoyed it more than I could possibly think - and haven't touched a pipette since. My study is however crowded with pens, notebooks, scientific journals, magazines, photographs and you name it. I consider myself very lucky to have found this creative niche where I can combine the best of two worlds - my broad and genuine scientific interest and my ambition to create something.

Some of my work

Just click on the links and read some of my work in English.

Nobelprize 2011 - I met and interviewed Nobel Laureates Jules Hoffman, Bruce Beutler, Dan Shechtman and the daughter of the later Ralph Steinman. At the time I was editor in chief for Nordic Life Science Review and included some stories about young researchers - the next generation of Laureates.

Article of the quarter - for the same magazine I have chosen one scientific article from a Nordic research group. Great fun and a great responsibility!

Early preprogramming of genes

Research for the clinic and the bench

Cellular genetic makeover

Conference report from the Scandinavian Plant Physiology Society (SPPS)meeting in Stavanger (Norway) in August 2011. I was there and summarized the scientific talks, took a lot of nice pictures and met very interesting people.
